Hermès Arceau Marqueterie de Paille

Moon phases and flyback chronographs are great and all and while the watch industry figures out more ways to uniquely implement those features, we wish there was little more attention towards blending the horological and artisanal. Enter Hermés' stunning Arceau Marqueterie de Paille. The dials are adorned with Hermés signature patterns weaved using a rare art called "Marqueterie", a careful process where artisans carefully craft straw into ornate, decorative patterns and designs. The watch will also feature 41mm white gold cases, blue alligator straps, and an automatic movement built exclusively for Hermés by Manufacture Vaucher. Link
